2003-03-25 | THE BEST THING ABOUT WAR IS THAT IT RHYMES WITH GWAR

This is the time of year that actors get awards, some deserving, some not. It's also the time of year where certain people make me realize I was right all along about my judgments of them. Sometimes in good ways, sometimes in bad.

This is the time of year where a bunch of famous people lose my respect and adoration.

This year it was worse though, because of this whole "conflict", and 75 percent of award presenters, recipients, and star fuckers, throwing in their two cents about it.

First it started at the Sundance Awards when Maggie Guyllenhaal lost my respect, but gained an uproarious applause by all the bandwagoneers for saying that we shouldn't go to war.

Then at the Grammy's, Fred Durst said that he thought we were all in "agreeance" when he said that we shouldn't go to war.

Then at the Independent Spirit Awards on IFC, 2 out of 3 assholes stated that the war was gay, and that anybody who supports it in any way is a stupid head. Okay, they didn't say it like that, but they were against it and stuff.

John Waters is a great host. He is so fun loving, even when he's being controversial. You just wanna hug the guy.

But of course, all the celebrities were busy smirking with "what the hell are you talking about" looks on their faces, and too busy being concerned about the war to laugh at his hilarious jokes, poking fun at the war, and trying to cheer up everybody.

How dare him try to have fun at a time like this!

Sometimes the Academy Awards are better nowdays, because a lot of independent movies, and more obscure actors are finally being recognized, and a lot of the people there actually appear to be having a good time.

But we couldn't have a good time this year, because there's a war going on right here, it's a celebration to last throughout the year, so bring your missiles, and your tear gas too, we're going to drop the bomb, and be over with you..... Sorry, I had a Kool & the Gang song in my head.

And we all know that the war is about oil, only oil and nothing else.

Doesn't anybody think that Afghanistan started the war? (a lot of people are saying that the big bully U.S.A. started everything, and pushed our weight around)

I must be crazy.

I seem to be the only super-liberal person I know who is not angry at Bush for going to war. I'm not angry at Bush period, which is a hard thing not to be sometimes.

I wish I could get someone to be in "agreeance" with me, yo.

But anyway, it was weird last night, because Michael Moore, who I love, was being a loudmouth, and he was all amped up, and he was throwing a hissy fit, (which he also did at the IFC awards) and not once did he say anything that hasn't already been said by a thousand other celebrities.

And TRL fans.

And Jeneane Garafalo.

It's funny, because I saw Dennis Miller on the Tonight Show a couple weeks ago, and he was totally supportive of Bush, and understood the reasons for going to war, if it came to that. Dennis Miller seems to be in the same vein of someone like Moore, but suddenly they have more differences in opinion then Clinton and Dole.

Then Keith and Mick.

Then Eminem and Moby.

Then David Duke and Malcolm X.

I was so proud of Dennis for taking that stance, though.

I sure wish Politically Incorrect was still on the air.

I need a nightly dose of some differences in opinions.

Not the same old song.

All these other people think they're being bold by stating their anti-war sentiments, but they come off sounding like a broken record, and come off looking like assholes. They're not saying anything new.

I can sort of understand the whole anti-war thing. I get it. We've heard you. Now shut up.

When the war starts, that's the time to give up, and just hope that too many innocent people don't die, and support your country as much as you can.

Don't hold up an American flag the day after September 11, then spit on it when we go to war.

Then at the Academy Awards post interview thingies in the press room, they have this asshole lady who thinks she's the mediator of some important conference, but who is lower on the totem pole than Corey Haim's agent.

She keeps shouting out numbers, which is the most unprofessional process I've ever seen or heard. Can't you get the names of the people who want to ask questions? Can't you just let anybody ask questions?

Then she keeps saying "No more time for questions....Please...no more time for questions.." while the actress answering the questions doesn't seem to mind answering more, and doesn't look like she's in a hurry to go anywhere.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck.

You people make me so angry.

If you don't know what you're talking about shut the fuck up.

Not just celebs.

Regular people at work, discussing the war, and not making sense for even a millisecond.

Take the advice of Perry Farrell and just Stop!

God I love Adrien Brody. He wasn't anywhere near as bad as some of the other people I've seen in the last month or so.

But c'mon now. Starring in a movie that deals with World War II, doesn't make you a war spokesperson. Whether you're pro-war or anti-war. Who cares what an actor thinks? Unless you're a veteran of the war, or have someone in your immediate family involved with the war, then I'd appreciate you not having an opinion. At all.

Even so, I really would've respected someone who ranted in support of the war this past weekend.

But nobody had any balls.

Nobody had their own mind.

Too many people worried about being accepted, or about being the minority.

The tide could've been changed if someone in attendance had a little more guts.

You would've been surprised how many people would've been cheering, and would've been proud of someone who was a little more supportive.

But what I would've enjoyed more then anything was no mention of the fucking war at all. Because the reason we watch these assholes in the first place is to forget our own problems, and also the problems in the world which may perplex us.

But no.

The mighty celebrities are worried, too. Their beloved lives are too sacred. Poor famous people. Always in the public eye. Always a target.

Then some idiot asked Nicole Kidman about her being rumored to star in a film version of Bewitched.

I don't think it's anybodies fucking business what movie she wants to do next, what it's about, who's in it, who's directing it, whether it sucks or not, etc.

I don't want actors influenced by what some cheeseball writer for Entertainment Weekly thinks.

But this dumbfuck asked her if she thought doing a movie like Bewitched was "the right thing to do for an Academy Award winner."

I'm not even going to talk any further about why that bothered me so much.

If you don't know why, and if you don't feel the same way, then we'll just move to a different topic.

I'm pretty sure you feel the same way though.

On another totally different note, I was watching the Man Show, which I mostly despise, for like 3 minutes the other day, and I was reminded of why I hate the show so much.

These fucking idiots in the crowd who played D & D until they were 25, and now they think they're studs because they grew out of their baby fat and wear contacts instead of glasses now. And some of us actually have peircings, too now! Aren't we cool?

No. You're not.

Everytime one of those half naked girls to interview one of these nerds, he puts her arm around her, as if he knows what to do with a woman. They act like hot shit, even though they are probably some of the most pathetic human beings on the face of the planet.

Get laid.

Then shut the fuck up.

Please.

Peace.
